    Does anyone have these? Just wondering if they raise the ride height? Or do you guys go with the regular(non cargo coil) springs. I just want to replace my factory ones

    I went with the variable rate rear springs that Kirbans sells, it looks like it may have raised the height about a 1/2", due to the fact that the factory springs are weaker.

    Are the Kirban's ones MOOG? Do they have a sticker with the MOOG part # if so?

    Thanks

    Just get Moog replacement springs at the parts store. You are paying more money for nothing at Kirbans.

    X2 Thats what I would do. I bought those springs years ago wholesale from him, the price was alot cheaper than what he wants now.

    I've had the cargo springs for 2 years and they have settled to below stock height. More than likely you will not like the ride. I'm going to take them out soon. I will not use these anymore on my cars. I would have been better off using the old stock springs with air bags.

    The way to go on these cars are constant rate springs and big rear sway bars. IMO

    I guess my question is:

    to replace with MOOG 5379 - regular factory type springs

    OR

    the MOOG crago coil springs- CC627



    I'll probably still use airbags with either choice

    I am doing the springs, too

    I put in the stock replacements from Auto Zone and did not like them. Going with the Kirban variable rate ones, since I had good luck with them in the past. Should have used them in the first place. Now have to do that job twice...

    I have not one complaint with the variable rate springs since I've had them installed.:smile:

    Andy,

    I have a set of Moog CC627. I had them on the car for less than 1500 miles and went back to factory springs with the airbags. I would sell them to you for $60 shipped.

    Why did you go back to the factory springs? Can't the airbags fit in the cargo coils? Can you post a pic of them?

    Thanks

    After lots of research and finding posts by owners that have tried it all, I would go with stock replacements.

    Darn, Pete, I thought that I tried to talk you into Kirban's just a while back?
    I am very happy with mine, and I have never heard a complaint with Kirban's springs sagging, as almost everything else.

    I know, I know...

    I just like to do everything at least twice...

    Shocks, springs, radio, torque converter...

    Just ask Steve V. He knows.
